I tried to load the SATA modules from the installer into my install on the PATA drive, and receive this output:
debian:~# modprobe sata_uli WARNING: Error inserting scsi_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting libata (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/libata.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting sata_uli (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_uli.ko): Invalid module format debian:~# I did the following to try to get this to work. Loaded the installer, and mounted my PATA partition. loaded the sata_uli module, and noticed that the other two modules loaded before it, and figured that I would need a modules.dep addition to include the dependencies. So I copied all three modules to the scsi module location on my PATA drive, and updated the /etc/modules (PATA) to include sata_uli I also updated the PATA modules.dep like so: /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_uli.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/libata.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko This is the weird thing: the line above this also has the scsi_mod.ko entry after the : They path to the scsi_mod is exactly the same on both lines, so I figure that the entry is not a problem. I do seem to remember that the installer used kernel 2.6.11 ro 2.6.12, but installs 2.6.8. I wonder if the installer kernel is new enough to warrant a module incompatiblity... Looks like I'm stuck for the moment...
